It shall be this one's duty to offer recipes and menus. These will be easy to follow, and tested to be good enough that a slave would allow his Master to serve it to Master's Guests and reflect only the best of his Master.
For far worse than Master's anger is Master's disappointment.

Stephen Donaldson Memorial Summer Desert

While
various models by Kelvinator (at nearly twice the price of a Model T
Ford) and some from Frigidaire were around in the early 1920's: The
first home refrigerator to see widespread use was the General
Electric introduced in 1927. Over a million units were produced.

Within
two years, the Uneeda Bakers (Now Nabisco) was marketing a recipe
that used these new kitchen marvels. It was incredibly easy. Just use
THEIR special “Famous Chocolate wafers”, cover them well with a
sweetened whipped cream and leave in your refrigerator overnight! The
next day, slice the roll on the diagonal and voila! Zebra-like slices
that had become more than just cookies and cream but rather a creamy
summer dessert.

It
became known as the Ice Box Cake! Ever have one as a kid? Slave was
very tempted to do a two ingredient dish for this posting, but you
know how I've just got to do something to it to make it special.

So
Here is the Stephen
Donaldson Memorial Summer Desert!

Ingredients:

1
box of Ginger Snap Cookies

1
12oz tub of non-fat cool whip, thawed

1
3oz box of peach flavored gelatin

1
½ cups boiling water

slave
used a throw away foil 8 x 8 cake pan, so that it could be taken as a
gift.

Mix
the boiling water into the pkg gelatin and stir for at least 2
minutes to devolve well. Whisk in the Cool Whip until well blended.

Place
this in freezer for no more than 2 hours to firm up!

Prop
up the pan so that you can stack the cookies without them falling
over.

Now
start stacking the ginger snaps with a spoonful of this topping
between each. Lay them into the cake pan and start the next row.

Layer
the remaining topping over the logs and cover with foil. Now leave in
refrigerator overnight.

This
will allow the caterpillar to become the butterfly.

Then
if you wish, you can freeze it to take to a picnic. After the meal it
will be just right to cut into and enjoy.

Simple
right? Wonderful taste! And sorta easy!

While
all of slave's cooking is for Master Indy, at times He allows me to
take a special food gift to someone lucky.

Today's
LGBT Hero: Stephen
Donaldson

Bisexual
support and empowerment campaigns did not really start until the
1970's, shortly after The Stonewall uprising.

One
of its first leaders was rather hard to define. He was an emotionally
troubled hero who often went by the name Stephen Donaldson. Note:
this is not the same person who writes fantasy books.

He
is given credit for establishing this movement in 1972. His partner
was a bisexual female. They each had been active in “homophile”
organizations. The very fact that they were in a sexual relationship
angered both gay and lesbian activists. Immediately issues of trust
and genuine commitment to the cause were raised.

After
nearly two years as a sailor, I got kicked out for "homosexual
involvement," Bitter at this homophobic expulsion, which
deprived me of the identity I loved more than any other—that of a
sailor—and as a bisexual no longer feeling comfortable with the
gay liberation movement, I found myself in June, 1972, attending the
annual Friends (Quaker) General Conference in Ithaca, New York; its
theme for the year was "Where Should Friends Be Pioneering
Now?"

Contemplating
that question, I organized an impromptu workshop on bisexuality and
was astonished to find 130 Quakers, one of every ten General
Conference attendees, overflowing into five meeting rooms and an
auditorium for two days of lively discussion based more on experience
than on abstract theories. Finally I was surrounded by
bisexually-identified F/friends, formally considering the topic of
bisexuality. Thus identity led me to activism.

This
group led by Donaldson's writing adopted what became know as the
"Ithaca Statement on Bisexuality".

The
Statement, which may have been "the first public declaration of
the bisexual movement" and "was certainly the first
statement on bisexuality issued by an American religious assembly,"
appeared in The Quaker Friends Journal and in The Advocate in 1972.

In
the journal “Sexuality”, Merl Storr reported, “It is easy to
forget in the present climate just how hostile academia in general,
and lesbian and gay studies in particular, were to the very idea that
bisexuality might be a serious topic of discussion.”

In
fact even in the last few months an article circulated on the
internet concerning wither there existed any “proof” of
bisexuality!

After
a series of meetings, the Committee of Friends on Bisexuality was
formed, with Donaldson (using the name Bob Martin) as its chair until
he left the Quakers in 1977.

Donaldson
appeared in 1974 on a New York Gay Activists Alliance panel with Kate
Millet. Where he voiced the belief that ultimately bisexuality would
be perceived as much more threatening to the prevailing sexual order
than homosexuality, because it potentially subverted everyone's
identity (the idea that everyone is potentially bisexual was
widespread) and could not, unlike exclusive homosexuality, be
confined to a segregated, stigmatized and therefore manageable
ghetto.

Stephen
Donaldson passed in 1996 from complications of the AIDS virus.

He
had started one of the first “homophile” student organizations at
a major university.

Been
kicked out of the Navy and lead a successful and pioneering campaign
to have his discharge changed to honorable.

Really
provided the publicity needed to start and define, the “Bisexual
Movement”

But
perhaps his greatest legacy was a result of his having been brutally
gang-raped repeatedly in prison.

He
would not remain silent about it! That is what men did at the time.
There was no such thing as rape support or therapies for prisoners!

Officially
rapes never occurred in prisons!

The
next day Donaldson held a press conference, Thus becoming
the first male prison-rape survivor to publicly recount his
experiences. What followed was a "massive and prolonged"
publicity, which had to be conducted under his legal name: Robert
Martin. All the Washington newspapers carried the stories; it was
picked-up on the wire services, and all three network-affiliated TV
stations carried filmed interviews.

The
injuries to Donaldson's rectum were so severe that they required
surgery. He had to spend a week in the Washington D.C. Veterans'
Hospital. He remarked "The government sewed up the tears in my
rectum which the government occasioned."

Nobody
ever had questioned whether the trauma of gang-rape was being
adequately treated. The result was no treatment at all. Donaldson's
campaign succeeded in changing that. However in this battle he paid
the ultimate price.

Donaldson
became president of Stop Prisoner Rape, Inc. in the mid 1990's. His
legacy organization, now known as Just Detention International helps
prisoners cope with the psychological and physical trauma of rape,
and works to prevent it from happening. It contributed to gaining the
passage of the first US law against rape in prison Prison Rape
Elimination Act of 2003. The issue of rape and prisoners' rights
continues to receive national and state attention. Donaldson was
perhaps the first activist against male rape in the United States to
gain significant media attention.

He
was truly another ordinary guy who was forced to become an
extraordinary LGBT hero!
